DWR-933 4G+ LTE-Advanced Cat 6 Wi-Fi Hotspot, 300 Mbps, Portable, Battery-Powered Up to 14 Hours, Dual-Band Wireless AC1200, Unlocked, Black

My old wifi hotspot device (Netgear Aircard 762) started to play up so I had to get a replacement. Looking on the market I say this device as a similar replacement. The D-Link DWR 933 performs as expected, it has a WPS button, a clear LCD display and so far I have managed to get 80mbps from my 4g connection (which is really good) The device settings are accessed by a web page, and it is pretty informative (even better that my old access point's web interface. You can set all the passwords and internet settings here, it has very complex settings that are fully customisable I am currently using this device with 4 attached devices.. they all work well and perform again as expected. You can connect either 2.4 or 5 ghz as there are 2 separate wifi access points on the device. Range is very good I have my laptop connected in another room and the signal is very strong. Cannot really fault the device but would like to be able to view TXT messages with the built in LCD screen instead of having to log onto the device to view the TXT. The device will not work witout the battery inserted, my old hotspot would work on USB power without a battery, as I was at home most of the time and didnt need to use the devices battery. The hotspot also has a micro sd slot so you can use the device as a network storage device. Handy to share files over your own network. When On battery the hotspot lasts well over 10 hours with lots of use. Pros • Good Value • Compact • Removable battery • Good display • Long battery life Cons • Wont run on USB power only (needs battery in device) • LCD screen is tiny • Micro USB port (should be USB C really) Can recommend this product if you are after a wifi 4G Hotsport

I bought this to provide an always-on wifi hotspot in a remote location, so it is always plugged in and (almost) always has devices connected. Generally, I'm getting on with it well, but with one important caveat. It is working well and is very stable ONLY if it only has it's 2.4Ghz interface enabled (i.e. 5Ghz disabled). If 5Ghz is enabled, it seems to periodically kick everything off, and nothing can re-connect until it's been rebooted. I haven't had chance to try and diagnose why - I'm fine with just using 2.4Ghz - but, as others have said, it does seem like the firmware is a bit flaky. It's managed through a local web interface, which is pretty clunky, but it's just about usable. Also as others have said, sometimes your changes don't save. I think you just have to go really slow with it, maybe. Battery life is "OK"; probably 12 hours of light use, of course if you can plug it in and run it off a mains USB charger - and you're happy with only using 2.4Ghz, then I'll get weeks of uptime out of it without needing a restart. Speed and latency seem good enough for general use. You can do a video call perfectly well over it, which is the limit of what I needed. Overall good value for money, I'm happy.

I wanted something that was easy to set up and use. Having purchased other devices which I was unable to configure with my SIM I decided to risk it. Yes I wasted my money on the "others" and went for this D-Link device. Simple to set up, just put SIM and if wanted a SD card and power up. The next thing is to enter the password. Enjoy.

The last D-Link product I owned was one of their home WiFi routers years ago which had constant instability issues. This mobile dongle is no exception. Despite setting it up correctly (I am a tech expert) the device would work for a while until the next time I would turn it on and the connection setting would change itself from 'Always Connected' to 'Manual Connection'. In short, Always connected means upon start up, mobile internet connection is turned on/available. Manual requires you to manually turn on LTE connection each time after start up, in order to connect and use mobile internet. For some reason, it would always switch itself from Always connected to manual connection, and when trying to change the setting from always connected back to manual, the setting does stick - it flicks immediately back to manual connection. Nightmare. The same thing happens with the 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi settings, both flicked from on to off without my input, when trying to change either of them back to on, it says the setting is saved, but refreshing the router admin page and the settings are still set to off.

This review is for the D-Link DWR-933. I found the speeds on the 2.4 and 5ghz channels to be very slow. The maximum download achieved was 8 meg and 1/2 meg upload. It was showing a full 4g signal and the Wi-Fi signal was strong but still very slow speeds. I have a TP link Archer MR500 mobile broadband unit which is plug in only so was looking for something a bit more portable for travelling. On the TP Link unit I regularly get 30 meg download speed and 15 meg upload so I know the 4g signal here is good. It's a shame as the D-Link is a nice little unit that was really easy to set up.

Used for on the go, connectivity, for multiple devices, already own a 4G Dongle (gave this to a friend) and upgraded to a hotspots. nice quality product does what is needed.

I got this to use primarily abroad with roaming. The first few months were fine, speeds were ok and reliable. Unfortunately it soon started to play up. It had signal, but wasn’t strong but should be enough to work. The internet would work (albeit i could rarely get above 1mbps) and then suddenly cut out. I put the sim into my other device which had no issues which meant it could only be the router. I picked up another one of these just to make sure and indeed, the new one worked fine. So it lasted me about 6 months which is very poor.

Worked really well for travelling with good signal strength. It does get quite hot though.

Really good

Top Produkt! Einzig die Mikro-USB Ladebuchse könnte durch ein USB-C-Anschluss ersetzt werden ;-) Wem 4G-Geschwindigkeit ausreicht, für den ist es perfekt. 5G-Geräte leider noch deutlich teurer.

Rien à dire sur les fonctionnalités, le point d'accès est bien wifi cat6, en 2.4 et 5ghz. La partie réseau est bien en 4g LTE. La vitesse en réseau local est bien a 300 mbps maximum. Par contre tout l'appareil est extrêmement cheap. Plastique d'apparence très limite, l'appareil donne une première impression de fragilité. Le poids est également suspect, il ne doit pas y avoir grand chose à l'intérieur. La batterie ne sera mesurable que dans la durée mais elle n'a pas également l'air d'être d'excellente facture. L'interface de configuration est dépassée depuis une dizaine d'années. Aucun menu n'est dynamique, toute l'interface est extrêmement lente et la configuration est incertaine (malgré de nombreux essais, je n'ai pas réussi à modifier le nom du compte local administrateur par exemple). Concernant le port de charge, ne pas avoir d'usb C sur un produit vendu en 2023 est quand-même étrange. Bref, pour le prix, on a d'avantage l'impression d'avoir un gadget d'avantage qu'un réel produit de la marque, qui pourtant nous a habitué à bien mieux.

PERFECTO.

he estado trabajando con el Wifi del D-link y me ha convencido de que la estabilidad de internet que genera es muy buena, la verdad esta fue una buena inversion
